Gingerbread Everything and FREEBIE for this week ONLY

We decided to make Gingerbread men but our cookies will be have decided to leave our school. Our Gingerbread men will be traveling all the way to Rockwall, Texas to Mrs. Beasley's class. In order for her students to determine whose cookie belongs to whom we must pay attention to the details as we write to her class describing our Gingerbread. We reviewed adjectives to make sure that we write using words that will create a clear, picture in our reader's mind.

Look at these little cuties!! There's not a doubt in my mind that their writing will be just a creative and detailed. We will be writing tomorrow. EEEKK!

Before math today we read The Gingerbread Baby and discussed the kind of Gingerbread house we would create for him. The only problem was they had to use base 10 blocks AND they had to be able to tell the NUMBER that they used. Look at some of these super cute homes for the baby.

A little math fun for everyone has kept us busy this week too.

You can pick these up this week for FREE at my tpt store.

Behavior that Makes Cents!

I've decided for this next school year to implement $$ into my behavior clip chart. Our school has certain colors and points that they want us to use and deduct from each child's conduct grade based on the child's color/conduct clip. So each year I jazz up my color chart BUT this year I'm implementing Coins.......get it???!!! Behavior that Makes Cents!! Okay.......this is how it will work in my classroom. Each day the students will stamp their behavior calendar with a coin stamp based on our color chart. For example, black will be used for a quarter because black is considered exceptional behavior throughout the day. They will use a green stamp for dimes, yellow stamp for nickels, and a red stamp for a penny. Although, I rarely have color changes, I truly feel like this will motivate them to not only KNOW their coins but be able to add them up. They will NEED to know how much they have in order to spend their money on Friday. ...

HO HO Oh No!!!

If cameras were in the classroom AT&T would be calling me for their next commercial. I LOVE these commercials because I feel like everyone in the world gets a little glimpse of the great conversations that take place in the classroom of young kids. Sometimes the most amazing conversations take place and then sometimes......not so much.. Okay, back to "HO". I had given my kids all the letters in the words GROUNDHOG DAY. I then challenged them to come up with 25 new words using these specific letters. They are hard at work when I get this question "Can I use the word "ho"? Me: "Well, no because hoe (then I precede to tell them about a garden hoe and what it is used for-you know, building a little background knowledge, just in case) is spelled with an "e" and you don't have an "e" available to you." Another student says, "I mean the other "ho"." Me: "Well, that's not really appropria...
